Steve Lopez writes in the Los Angeles Times about California: “At every level, cuts decimate once-great institutions and devalue our greatest resource — eager young minds.”
I went to school for many years in California and only on the rarest of occasions did I meet an eager mind. Of the good students I’ve met, only about 1% appeared to have enthusiasm for their studies. For the rest, it was only careerism. Doing their studies was simply a matter of getting ahead in life.
